Lillian May Belliston Farrell

May 4, 1919 ~ May 16, 2014

Lillian May Belliston Farrell was born on May 4, 1919 in Spring Lake, Utah to William and Daisy Belliston. While a member of the Murray High School band, she met Robert Howe Farrell (Bob). He never would challenge her for first chair trumpet, and the two played many duets. They were married on February 9, 1941 in San Antonio, Texas, where Bob was an air cadet. They were sealed in the Salt Lake Temple nine months later.

Their children are Dianne Hale (DeVon), Linda West (Roy) and Robert Thomas Farrell (Jan). They have 17 grandchildren, 52 great-grandchildren and seven great-great-grandchildren.

From a happy childhood in Murray, Utah to homes with Bob and children in China, Japan, England, and many United States Air Force stateside assignments, Lillian’s life was filled with rich experiences and friends worldwide. She and Bob retired to Ogden, Utah.

She was known for her sparkly personality, good looks and classy dress, ability to play any song on the piano, sharp bridge skills, service in church and officers wives organizations, and as a loving wife and mother.

Lillian is preceded in death by her husband, parents, siblings Grace Jeppsen (Boyd), Emma Howcroft (Earl), and William Belliston, and grandson Michael Farrell West.
